Galleries PRO

[Wintermute]

There are a couple of things I was looking for in a gallery plugin for phpbb. I was wondering if your plugin meets these:

Random images from galleries bar on the upper portion of the index page
Comments capability for users to provide comments on other peoples images in their galleries

Thanks in advance for letting me know if this is available or can be added (I'll be more than happy to pay for the plugin if it is capable of doing these things and all works well, etc...).

Random images are a nice suggestion and shouldn't be a problem at all...
Can be done by your request.

Comment system is finished and ready to use, you can see it in action with the blog addon.
Write it in your order if you wish to have it please, I had some people who disliked the comment function as it took the forum use away

So your requests should be possible for the regular pricing, no additional coding is required.

Thank you for your questions, I hope I could answer them to your needs.

Kind regards

I just enabled watermarks in the whole demo gallery, also enabled WYSIWYG comments for everybody who wishes to see it in action.

You can also delete gallerys now - including all related images.

Please try and comment
Thanks!

Download now added for all subscribers

I can't stop working on this, it's my own favourite addon

Now optimized it for better HTML and better performance.
Updated archive, all other archives are updated aswell (download for buyers).

Have fun!

If you can make this similar to DeviantArt.com it would be Major Addon!

This is Alex plugin from Mybbsource . http://forum.kaixer.net/mygal.php - this plugin look pretty neat, but lack of features.

I love the idea about latest images in profile - in your addon

- what about only admin can create category? (multiple category)
- All user can have their own gallery
- Frontpage of Gallery will look like DeviantArt.So, all new images will appear at front page (you can see at deviantart.com)
- Comment box (maybe AJAX or like mybb default quick reply)
- Browse gallery
- They can choose license from Creative Common
- Add images to Favourite (will appear in profile maybe or in user gallery page)
- Rate Images
- Category Sidebox
- Collection (user create new folder/collection)
- Progress Bar uploader
- RSS for gallery, albums and comments
- Automatically generated thumbnails, custom crops possible!, and sized-down images
- Maybe you can make new User CP & profile, but it only for Gallery (Gallery CP & User Gallery) -

why not you register first at DeviantArt & take a look around

this is my suggestion, It would be Plugin of the year if you can make it! I'm very very confident!
but, it must look very neat to get more attention!

p/s: all my suggestion refered from DeviantARt, && my forum is Art community, so no wonder why really need this addon.

[Lennart]

I'll reply to your post setp by step.

- what about only admin can create category? (multiple category)

Nice idea, could be implemented.

- All user can have their own gallery

Allready included?
Every user can have his own gallery... or more. You can limit it to one easily though.
And through the "private gallery" option others will not be able to upload images so it's really his gallery.

- Frontpage of Gallery will look like DeviantArt.So, all new images will appear at front page (you can see at deviantart.com)

Worth thinking about it, I'd just have to modify the plugin that shows last images in user profile...
Would you like to have the last x images displayed on forum index or on gallery index?

- Comment box (maybe AJAX or like mybb default quick reply)

Comment box is there, no ajax though. I'll learn Ajax lateron, not able to do Ajax yet.

- Browse gallery

Will be implemented soon...

- They can choose license from Creative Common

I had such a plugin at Zaiendo.de but users never used it. Guess most users don't understand anything from licensing.
Can be implemented though.

- Add images to Favourite (will appear in profile maybe or in user gallery page)

Not sure about that one... could be integrated with the current rating system though...

- Rate Images

allready implemented

- Category Sidebox

Would come with admin categories

- Collection (user create new folder/collection)

sorry - what do you mean with that? User can create new gallery...

- Progress Bar uploader

Ajax or Flash - I'm not able to do it.

- RSS for gallery, albums and comments

Not planned, never looked into RSS since I don't use it.

- Automatically generated thumbnails, custom crops possible!, and sized-down images

Gallery addon has automatic generation of thumbnails (sized down images).

- Maybe you can make new User CP & profile, but it only for Gallery (Gallery CP & User Gallery) -

Why? Then you'd have a seperate gallery... would be pointless somehow wouldn't it?

Kind regards

PS: Please note that I'm quite busy with a lot of things at the moment and these modifications might happen - but not soon.

Well, take your time..
This is huge addon, so I understand.

I'm glad to hear you want to upgrade this addon.

[Pirata Nervo]

I have on question lennart, does it come with an activation and deactivation procedure like regular plugins or do we still need to do the installation manually like before?

[Lennart]

Manual installation is required because you can run it on a different database aswell (which is very useful when having a lot of traffic and storage).
It's a simple SQL query, I included it, run it from PhpmyAdmin.

The plugin to show the recent stuff has usual activation/deactivation proceeding.

[Pirata Nervo]

Oh okay, thanks I'll install it today probably and will start using it to upload my screenshots
